Maybe I'm a bit spoiled having learned to ski/snowboard in Colorado, but for the price ($57?), its not a very big place.

I will say that its very kid friendly (lessons, bunny slope, etc), and its... More

Hanged out for a day with 3 friends. For a first time skier, the place was just right. Trainers did not train us very well for the detail we were looking for. They just thought us few tricks and let us go on our own that made us wonder if its what we paid for. But I'll go there again... More

President's Day and its been a mild season with not so much snow so when friends decided to go skiing at Bristol I was prepared for limited runs and crowded conditions. Not so! Everything was open and plenty of well groomed base :) The lift lines were moving well with the help of Bristols team who were all busting their... More

Slopes are well maintained. Progressive difficulty available for all ski talents. Unless you're Olympic quality, and even if you are, you'll love the rush, the moguls, the night skiing with the snowflakes on your face!

Variety of trails is excellent. Slopes are groomed very well. Lifts are new and fast. Food is good. Safety personnel are abundant. Very professional place. My favorite slope is Milky Way because it is gentle and the scenery is desolate in the woods.
